摘要: In this paper, we present a new security framework which allows controlled sharing and isolated execution of mutually distrusted FPGA-accelerators in heterogeneous cloud systems. The proposed enables the accelerators running FPGAs computers to transparently inherit at run-time, software policies virtual machines processes calling them. This capability system enforcement mechanism propagate access control privilege boundaries expressed hypervisor level, down individual FPGA-accelerators. Furthermore, software/hardware prototype implementation framework, showing that it can easily be integrated within machine stacks run today's cloud-based Experimentation results show our provides secure hardware with negligible overhead on guest VMs applications.
